*****Low Cost, Low Expectations . . .***** Let's be honest - when you spend approximately 204 quid each on a package holiday, do you really expect all that much? When me and my sister booked up to go to Zante in May we were a bit desperate to be honest. ... Read review

It was another beautiful clear day in Crete - is there ever any other sort? We had had our fill of the beach and sunbathing for a while (and truth be told, I was a bit sunburnt) so we decided it was time to explore some of this wonderful island. Not wa ... Read review

Sorry to rate on the low side but I visit Athens occasionally and I would like to read a hotel review which gives a little more information. What you have written IS helpful, there just needs to be more of it......could you give an idea of prices, more about the rooms, a little more about the food, is it a quiet place to stay ('big ask' in Athens!), what are the rooms like? Hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and please let me know if you add more as I would be happy to re-read and re-rate. by ALM1

Advantages: Working to ensure that turtles are protected.
Disadvantages: A charity which relies on donations to keep going

Last September I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful island of Kefalonia, and certainly the lasting memory I have of the place has to be that it is a major breeding ground for the Loggerhead Turtle. This simple fact conceals a complicated situa ... Read review

Advantages: Year round subshine, warm sea, empty beaches, all facilities, good price, no herds of tourists.
Disadvantages: Very difficulty to say goodbye.

The Cretian village of Myrtos is just a half-hour bus ride west of the City of Irapetra in the south east of Crete. This part of the island is not dependent on tourism and has a thriving argicultural economy growing tomatoes, cucumbers; even bananas and p ... Read review

Disadvantages: No nightlife and car hire may be advised if you wish to travel.

When I initially booked a holiday to Kefalonia I had to be sure that the place I decided on was somewhere which would serve as a perfect base from which to explore the island, but would also afford some peace and privacy when we were staying in the locali ... Read review

Sounds and looks beautiful – just my ideal (aside from the heat) holiday spot. I love peace and tranquility, preferring to stay as far away from people as possible. Lovely review! by CelticSoulSister

A lovely, thoughtful review capturing the atmosphere of the area. (I too have abiding memories of the island's scent - a mix of jasmine, oregano and the sea.) by ALM1
